Add Animated GIF images in WordPress

18 viewsSeptember 3, 2018October 12, 2018admin0

Do you want to add animated gif images to your blog post or pages? You can simply do it like you do it for any other image but after uploading the animated gif images to your WP media library, you found them just as static images without animation when you see your page/post.

The reason that gif images loses the animation when uploaded via WP media library is that WordPress saves uploads in the media library to several different sizes with default sizes as thumbnail, medium, large which eventually makes the image static. But good news here is that WordPress also keeps the original image as well which is still animated.
